Yes, when Barry re-invented himself with Somewhere in Time, etc. he started another influential trend. So he accomplished that twice, and for two completely types of films and musical styles. If he could have pulled that off another time or two, we'd have to refer to him as the Miles Davis of film music.

Just my thoughts on some scores, not all of course:
Alex North: “A Streetcar Named Desire” – groundbreaking use of jazz – hugely influential and important
Max Steiner: “King Kong” – influential and important for bringing background scoring to the attention of critics and a general audience
Bernard Herrmann: “Citizen Kane” – influential and important for bringing a lithe, modernistic but American, palate into scoring – also for using shorter musical modules instead of long melodic lines
Miklos Rozsa: “Ben Hur” – influential and important for creating a sound and an epic scope in its score that defined for a generation what “epic music” should be.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: the Flynn films – for creating hugely popular adventure music that defined what “action film” music should be
Miklos Rozsa: the noir scores – influential and important for creating a sound forever linked with dark gangsterish films – and for popularizing the use of electronic tonalities in popular scoring.
John Williams: “Star Wars” for resuscitating the Korngold/Golden Era aesthetics of adventure scoring for a new generation.
John Barry: “Dr. No” – for blending in a sublime way the emerging pop/rock/British musical landscape within the spy film genre.
Ennio Morricone: “A Fistful of Dollars” – for creating a new musical landscape for the western genre.
David Shire: “The Conversation” -- for influencing countless independent films to go for a simpler, lean sound to express psychology and mood.
Easy Rider: even more than “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Easy Rider” still influences modern films with its panoply of pop music integrated into narrative.
I’ll rest.

No influence on anyone but himself.
Sadly.
